The Devilrock Four formed in 2003 in Melbourne as a hard rock group with the line-up of Jamie Coghill on drums, percussion and backing vocals (The Jimmy C, ex-Just, Luxedo, Fez Perez), Jonny Driver (aka Jonathon Walker) on guitar and lead vocals (ex-Corkcharge, Process of Elimination, the Lightning Strikes, High Kick Crazy), Jimi Richardson on bass guitar and backing vocals (ex-Clutch Life, the Rubs, the Bloodfarts, Rapdance Cool Party) and Carl Treasure on guitar and vocals (ex-Drone, the Rubs, the Bloodfarts). They played the local pub circuit.
In February 2004 released their first extended play, which was self-titled and had six tracks – two were written by Driver and four by Treasure. They were voted most outstanding band at the Duke of Windsor Hotel and band of the year at The Green Room. The band signed to the Premier Artists talent agency and Shrunken Head Records, while Shock Records distributed their second EP, Livin' This Low, in March 2005. All five tracks were written by Treasure and they were recorded at Birdland studios, Melbourne. The title track was issued as a single and its music video was shown on rage in April 2005.
The group signed to Zatzit Records in 2006 and, during May to June, recorded their debut full-length album, at Sing Sing Studios, Melbourne.First in Line was co-produced by the band with engineer–producer, Matt Voigt. Six tracks were written by Driver and five by Treasure; it was issued in February 2007. In 2008 the album's first single, "Don't Throw It Away" (October 2006), was used in advertising for Channel 10's coverage of the Australian Football League.
